A few reasons for this: #1 most important- this PM zion sent me

"marioxb,

Your new project sounds great, and I much look forward to you finishing the subs.

However, I must caution you on your intentions to release this as a DVD. If all you are going to do is add subs to the ROTS DVD and possibly a new or modified sub menu, this is not enough to call this a fan edit. And thus, I would caution you about announcing or speaking about releasing a DVD version of this on the boards.

Rather, I would advise you to either revise your thread to say you are just working on the subs, or release this as part of a ROTS fan edit. If you don't have any intention of doing a fan edit yourself, you could try teaming with someone else who has done/is doing a fan edit, like Hal9000 or ADigitalMan. Collaborating on a project isn't anything new. Dark_Jedi and segaflip have teamed up for releases, as well as Digitalfreak-NYC and Baby Hum.

Jay has tried to re-clarify the rules so that the site doesn't look like a hub for obtaining bootleg DVD-rips. I hope you understand, and best of luck to you on your project."

Doing it this way makes sure everyone owns the actual DVD and isn't just out to get something for nothing. #2: It makes the download time much, much less.


As for ThatArtGuy and anyone else having problems rippping, why not use SmartRippper? It will give you one video file and one audio file if you do it properly.

I could give out the srt file, but then ypu wouldn't get my nifty menus. What do you guys think of them by the way?

Anyone else having any problems, other than with DVD Shrink? Yeah, same error I got. An older version of DVD shrink said I didn't have enough memory availiable.

As for Windows XP- that's just what I have and I haven't tried anything else. You need NTFS because FAT won't hold a file larger than a gig or so- I found out when I had Windows ME.

Oh, the button on the subtitle menu is to resume the movie, so it'll play whatever you played last. Speaking of which, anyone notice what the hidden features were? Besides the songs on the menus, there are two other unlisted extras.
